I think there are lots of recommendations around here to do or not do certain things because "we will get run over" or because "we will be easy to play against" that are misguided because they are based on the assumption that our opponent will both correctly assess AND correctly exploit the vulnerability of our actions. This is a leap that I am not prepared to make until the opponent proves it to me.

Lots of good posts in this thread. This is certainly true for the mid-limit SH games I have played in (10/20 + 15/30). I made the mistake you alluded to, and I have found that I am playing much better now that I have gotten back to a more ABC game. I still make situational adjustments, but instead of semifrequently taking unorthodox lines to confuse my opponents, I only rarely deviate from what I think it the most +EV line for the hand. Taking into account the situational complexity of each decision randomizes my actions enough that the typical opponent at these levels really can't get a very accurate sense of how to exploit my play.

if you're going to make this 3-bet it is a variation play and should be treated as such.
you are not currently ahead of villain's range, and your position cannot make up for this completely. if you 3-bet this every time, a "pretty good player" will catch on.
i would like it more if you had a lower suited connector, as at least that way you are less likely to be dominated. it's not as though jack-high is winning any showdowns here.

Definitely. I probably didn't emphasize this particular "edge" in enough in setting up the hypothetical, but it really was meant to be implied.

Like I said at the outset, my "default play" against this opponent is mucking, not 3-betting (though I can imagine some tables where calling could work). But I was imagining a situation where I had set up the play by playing relatively tight and, more important, not 3-betting this particular opponent previously.

I should also admit, though, the fact that I did not mention this particular condition at the outset is probably proof of some lazy thinking. In fact, the entire situation seems representative of a certain poker stage I'm at.

I feel like I'm beginning to get to the point of intuitively sensing some edges, but not yet to the point of understanding them thoroughly enough to articulate them.

Stellar, these last two posts were wonderfully crafted and helped bring some structure to a lot of the things that have been incoherently flying through my head for the last few months.

On the check-call, check-call, bet-fold line that you comment on. Something I just clarified in my mind today was that even if our opponent bluff raises us on the river at the perfect frequency so that he's giving us a 0 EV decision, we still need to make sure we are calling at an unexploitable frequency. We can't just say oh well either way doesn't matter I make nothing- you still really need to be calling a lot or else you're presenting your opponent a chance to bluff more profitably.

If you're going to start 3 betting with the worst hand then your opponent had better like folding.

end of story.

3 betting the villain in my oppinion in this hand is a mistake. i've been calling more and more lately but i'm not positive that's correct either but i've been having good success with it lately in similar spots.

What other hands are you cold-calling with in order to keep your opponents from pinpointing your hand here?
